And so he turned to me and whispered in a low voice, "So you don't believe in Fatima?". "Nihil ex nihilo." I tightened my belt and threw back the pint of beer. He insisted on babblering on metaphysics of miracles. And so this is how I came to beat the Pope into a pulp. To this day he sports two permanent black eyes. Nice guy.

6- you must be dreaming if you will think the knicks will ever be good as long as dolan is president. At least with Isiah we had somebody to kick around and despise. Now who are we gonna get? somebody that has our sympathies and will stretch it out until 2 more years when his ass gets fired because the Knicks ar unsalvageable.

Upon lighting the candle and finishing his prayer, Pope Benedict turned to the crowd and offered a blessing for the entire city. He raised his arms to the crowd and exclaimed "Thank you Holy Father in Heaven for hearing the desperate prayers of this community. And now we can finally get some good f***ing roundball in this town!" The crowd stood in confused silence for a minute until one of Benedict's aides pointed out that he was lighting a candle for the victims of the September 11th attacks, and not in thanksgiving for the firing of Isaiah Thomas. Embarrassed, the Pope moved quietly to his Popemobile, but not before being heard to utter "Let's go Knicks" at which point the crowd of pilgrims and believers broke into wild applause.

I never realized how freaky the Catholic Church is. So much pageantry. They actually use smoke and mirrors in their ceremony. How's that for a metaphor for that religion? I always thought christianity was strictly against luxury? Catholicism is like the Prada of religions. so much gold.

By the way the above words the Pope said seem to be inspired by the words of the Berlioz Requiem.

The Papal Circus continues. Equal time for Atheists . Funny how our X Mayor Rudy took the Holy Sacrement of Communion even though he is X communicated. Me thinks he had the words that both begin with C ,confused.
